Mamacita, I Need A Haircut!

Mambo's hair is to die for... really! It is lush and curly and grows fast, especially in the summertime. It's hair, not fur, and needs to be cut often. I'm the barber. Don't ask how I got the position...




I last groomed him just before Lyla was born; that would be at the beginning of August. A trip to the beach always wreaks havoc on his belly hair... that would be the grayish, knotty stuff in the picture. The remainder is soft. Altogether, it half filled an eleven-gallon bag. Post haircut, it looks like he lost about eight pounds.

We started at ten a.m. I hit the shower at three p.m., as he hit the patio for a nice, long siesta. It's work, but he's worth every second of time spent. The rewards he affords us are endless.
